Logistics & Driver Academy

At the Driver Academy, the children got to sit behind the wheel of a truck or car themselves and experienced firsthand what it means to be responsible behind the wheel. Topics such as blind spots and proper behavior on the road were also introduced to them in a playful way. Afterward, they were allowed to “pick” a goodie bag at the Logistics Academy and observe the processes and procedures of the logistics team.

Technical Academy

At the Technical Academy, the children got hands-on: By building solar fans, trying their hand at welding for the first time, and helping change a tire, they discovered just how exciting and creative technology can be.

CarroLack Academy

Things got colorful at the CarroLack Academy: Under expert guidance, the children were allowed to try their hand at painting for the first time in the spray booth and watch the daily routine of a body shop painter and panel beater.

Business Academy

The Business Academy guided the children through the various administrative departments, explained the software and systems to them, and outlined the requirements for becoming a business administrator.

Future Day was also actively celebrated at other locations: One child visited each of the sites in Möhlin and Staad, while at Imbach Logistik in Schachen and Lucerne, a total of 18 children explored the world of Imbach.

Future Day offered all the children an authentic glimpse into the diversity of the transportation and logistics industry—a hands-on experience that brought home the many facets of working at Galliker. At the end of the day, all 90 children received a “goodie bag” as a memento of an eventful program.

Rolf Galliker, Chairman of the Board of Directors and COO, summed it up:

“It’s wonderful to see every year how the children participate with wide-eyed wonder and genuine interest. Days like these spark curiosity, foster understanding—and perhaps even inspire their first plans for the future.”
